    I was looking @Mobtown Offroad aluminum skid plates, but their website says "Will not work with 4 cylinder models".
    Are there any aluminum skids for the 4 Cylinder?

    I'm also a little upset they don't offer bolt on reg cab sliders lol
    I like their products, but they don't cater to us

    The front "IFS" skid plate works, just not the transmission skid plate

    I know 2wd and 4x4 have different crossmembers; what's the difference between V6 and I4?

    All-Pro Offroad makes aluminum skids. Might want to check with them if they will fit your rig. BTW, I just installed the BAMF Trilogy skids (steel) and they fit my 4 cyl. reg. cab.

    I don’t think anyone does aluminum sliders....
    Aluminum and rocks equal failure. It’s not as strong as steel. They are more likely to crush.

    I honestly never recommend aluminum after seeing the damage that can be done to steel if used. Guy I bought mine from had to get 1/4th steel because the 3/16 was getting smashed up on the rocks
